I watched this with my husband at home after months of hearing hype about it. We have no prior experience with Mad Max anything, except knowledge of the general style vibe that has permeated the culture. We laughed in astonishment and confusion for most of the movie, and at the end wondered what the fuck. We have always meant to revisit it, but never gotten around to it.
I would love to drink of your Mad Max koolaid. Help my autistic brain understand what the fuck I watched and why everyone continues to be so fucking stoked about it?
I know they did a lot of practical effects in a way that is basically unheard of anymore, and that's the one tiny part of the reverence that I understand and share. I am dying to get in on the rest of it. Would any of you like to just go the fuck off about it or is there a blog post I should read?
Mad Max is more vibes than Lore. The only other one I'd really recommend is Road Warrior, it's the Ur post apocalyptic movie and is a prototype for fury Road in many ways restrained by budget and the time it was made but has a more slow and realistic and brutal vibe. Fury Road is a lot ore fantasy feeling, Road Warrior is grim as hell.
road warrior has a guy who flies a gyrocopter and tosses snakes on people
